D is for Denver, John
Winding through the Black Hills to reach my grandparent's cabin in Arizona, the road trip music was the same every time. I will always associate Enya, Gordon Lightfoot, and John Denver with vast stretches of road. John Denver (may he rest in peace) was a particular favorite. Phil and I would belt out "Annie's Song" and knew right when to hit the falsetto on "Rocky Mountain High."

Our family used to make a 5-hour trip to visit family a couple of times a year, and the thing I loved about those roadtrips the most were the music. My dad used to make mix tapes for the road. Vast expanse of highway brings Def Leppard to mind. My dad was cool like that.
John Denver is one of my Mom's favorite artist. We would listen to him often and anytime someone mentions him or a song plays I think of my Mom.
Loving this! Both my parents went to West Virginia (whose theme is basically 'Take Me Home Country Roads'), so I was raised on John. Love him.
